I see why one of the other locations I rated has a poor ordering system you walk up to a bunch of…read morepeople not in a line waiting on one of the 2 windows to open to ask who is next. Probably the worst ordering system I've ever encountered. In fact some jerk cut in front of me and another person because of this failed system. They don't even have any literature explaining this poor system either. Finally get my order in and take a seat, ordered the triple cheeseburger and fries and a coke. It didn't take long to get and have to say, food was good. The burger seemed a tad smaller than other locations. Food was a more expensive than other locations too, Springfield location is the worst and most expensive though. They don't have indoor seating, fyi. I would return, but would recommend preordering to avoid their poor service.

Your classic no-frills bbq place. It's not fancy bc it's all about the bbq. And I'm 100% ok…read morewith that. Supposedly they sell out daily. I don't know what other issues people had with service but everyone was super nice and helpful. And walked me thru the menu. Got the smoke wings with garlic parm on side. I would vote 7/10. Great flavor withoutsauce but a "little" dry. If we are being picky vs others I've tried. But again, I would 100% get them again. Garlic parm sauce was great to dip them in. The star of the meal? The smoked pastrami 20/10. . Hands down.. amazing. It's an extremely close second to Green Street bbq in Chicago. I got their regular bbq sauce (Carolina red) on the side. It's called Carolina but no vinegar. Which I'm ok with. What great sweat bbq sauce. Totally unique. Would be amazing on chicken or pulled pork. I'm now a huge fan of this place. Can't wait to try rest of menu and Brisket Mac n cheese!

I stepped to the back of the line to wait my turn. The young lady taking orders took five people's orders ahead of me. I stepped up to order and she stepped away to start helping the two people fixing the food. Now I was the last one in the line when she stepped away. Why she just did not take my order and then step away I doing not know. I stood there for a long time then gave up and left. I ran in to the owner outside and told him about it. He just blew me off and called me Buddy. The owners have been arrogant in the past for no reason. I am aways nice and respectful. This restaurant's business is good now but treating good customers like this will hurt your business in the long run. I will never eat there again.

Food was good. Homemade bread is worth the visit. Bread itself has a sweetness about it so for us,…read morewe didn't really enjoy the garlic bread. But the cinnamon bread works with that sweetness of the homemade bread. Sandwiches, on that sweet homemade bread, were quite large 16", but not a lot of meat/cheese. The sandwich has no sauce - you'll need to use the packets of mustard or mayo available in the restaurant. Bucket of spaghetti is their thing - meat sauce on the bottom. You almost have to dump it all out into a bowl to mix - the bucket is filled. That's a good thing. We also tried the meatballs-they were on the small side and quite salty. We won't order those meatballs again, but will be probably go back for the bucket of spaghetti and some cinnamon bread.
